How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewVery clean and tidy.Comfortable bed Great to have a washing machine and dryer
Nothing really but some basic instructions on how to work the washing machine and dryer would have been helpful. A couple of small armchairs or seat cushions on the dining chairs would have made it a bit more comfortable.

Verified reviewThe property was bright, clean, tastefully furnished and had all the facilities you would expect for a comfortable stay. The host was friendly and helpful. We would certainly stay there again. It's very close to Avarua, the Airport and the Hospital.
We can't really think of anything we didn't like. Maybe if you were there specifically for a beach holiday, an ocean front place would be better but it's not far to walk to the the beach.

Verified reviewUnfortunately we didn’t get to meet the host but the facilities are excellent. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay again. Beautifully designed and decorated villa. Would have loved to stay longer especially if we had been able to rent a car. Really appreciated the attention to detail. Thanks

Verified reviewMaria was so lovely and has done such a brilliant job with the studio- it is beautiful, modern, clean, spacious! There is even a room to put luggage in. Just a short walk away from Black Rock and Social Centre, with some of the most incredible snorkeling on the island. Lovely little deck outside looking onto the garden. Great to have mosquito net screens. It felt like every detail was thought about. Maria was so kind to offer us a lift as she was driving past us, she made us feel so warmly welcomed in Rarotonga, such incredible hospitality!
A coffee plunger would be a great addition to all the other great cooking facilities.

Verified reviewI loved the little things that made the stay enjoyable. From the kitchen cookware and homeward set, to the bathroom and bed, it was the best stay I've had on the island and I've been around most air bnbs.

Verified reviewGreat cooking facilities and a decent size fridge. Was able to freeze drink bottles. Location was good. Within walking distance to the beach and a food truck with the best fresh fish and chips - yellow fin tuna and marlin.
Quite a bit of traffic going past often with curtains that did not block out lights at nighttime.
